Thread: The Missus demands a Disco... HAAALP

Now tony, from looking at you property, you definitely need more cars, 10's just not enough.
D1 is pretty much the same as late RR classic, drive line and chassis is the same, just gotta find a good one.

Ahhhhh theres more than 10 here........, easy double that lol but the scrap bin is looming which will cut that down by 5 or 6 parts cars.

I really have to come up and say Gday one of these days too.

So Jenna was correct in her research!

Her main motivation is to be able to tow and run over wombats without making 11k insurance claims and I suggested that the 4 speed Rangie was a bit too agricultural for her (MINE MINE MINE ALL MINE) so she wants what she wants.

I assume a 3.9 lt efi end of series run would be preferable?

Hi Tony,
My handbrake loves our D1 3 door diesel (even though she won't drive it) manual. She says it has taken us to a lot of out of the way places. You will soon learn the vehicle as it is not much different than the RRC.
Regards Shane.

I have had an 84 and an 88 RRC and Nan hated them both. We now have 96 D1's (one each ) and she love hers.

Cheers Shane, Looks like its an option then eh?

I like the Mechanics of the RRC and id prefer a later Rangie but the D1 has its charms. If only they had a fold down tailgate eh?

I think women like the short reach needed to load through the big rear door, a tailgate requires reaching over it. My mate's missus has a RAV4 for the same reason.

And perhaps its the perceived shortness (they're not) of the D1 that appeals to women who go in parking lots.

Personaly I much rather the Rangie!

Yup, im a Rangie fan over a Disco and there is no logical reason for it.
Jen is nearly 6 foot tall though so im thinking it may be a personal pref after 13 years of owning an RRC for her.

No its because Women think Rangies are bloody ugly and discos are better looking...

Rangies are old and musty

getting in a rangie feels like going around with yeah mate to her Grandads place and sitting in his unit on the sofa he bought only 40 years before, whilst listening to the clock tick......

Its awkward!!!
